Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers. For those of you who have your
mother around, give an extra hug to yours on behalf of the those of you
who are no longer fortunate to have theirs.

I am one of the lucky ones to count my mom as one of my best friends. She is absolutely beautiful inside and out. You couldn't meet a sweeter person but she is also full of sass, silliness, spunk, and humor. It seems impossible that she is someone who came from a motherless environment for she has become a mother to all that come in contact with her.

My mom will drop anything if one of her kids is in need and I don't know how we would have got through Aidan's first year without her help and support. I talk to her several times a day as if she were an extension of my own thinking - allowing me to hammer out my ideas and encouraging me.

Thank you, Mom! The gift of life was enough. The mother you are was the cake and the friend you have become is the icing.
